I would not only refer to these questions as specific for the install
CD. This also needs to be clarified for other or manual installations
and possible (re)configurations on changing system/settings.

as I don't see it anywhere I would define some feature requests here:
- documentation of livesupport (re)configuration
- approbriate interface to configuration on userlevel (a settings-dialog
included with the GUI for example ..)

- where are above settings actually configured?
- how should this be intended to be configured?

all I know so far is:

so we choose dsp device(s) ... and: are we fine?
what's outputPlayer and cuePlayer matching the scenario above?

The outputPlayer is the sound card for Live Mode broadcast output;
cuePlayer is for the preview sound card. There is an tag
in the scheduler.xml config file, which also takes an audioDevice =
"..." attribute, for the Scheduler broadcast output. Yes, we will
eventually need some script and/or gui to edit these config files.

so asking "dump" questions on dev and reading config files slowly start
to clear things up..

so we have:

"station" part
- with the scheduler broadcasting a signal via device defined in
scheduler.xml (which is per default: not set?)

"studio" part
- with a live mode broadcast (btw: can you define the term for me?) via
device defined in gLiveSupport.xml by outputPlayer
- with a preview signal on device defined in gLiveSupport.xml by
cuePlayer
(which per default are set to /dev/dsp)

right?

I think so...

What about including the possibility of setting the sound devices in
postInstall-scripts for now? (maybe better: stripped down versions of
them down for plain config file (re)generation) ... so also install
procedure(s) could call them therefor ...

.. what would you think about this?

open issue(s):
where to place the audioDevice for scheduler?


using config file '/opt/livesupport/etc/scheduler.xml'
error parsing configuration file

so what are valid audioDevices for this tag and helixPlayer?
just "/dev/dsp?" ?

is there a way to choose card/device in ALSA style also (hw:0,1 ...)?


btw: anyone knows a simple way (that can be automated) how to look up
wich dsp belongs to which (channels of) soundcard?
